Marriage assistance - ALLMOND
« on: Saturday 17 December 16 11:41 GMT (UK) »
This is the first time I've ventured north of the border with family research.

Primarily, I am looking for the marriage of  Douglas Allan Fraser ALLMOND b 1912 in Devon.   Douglas served in the Royal Indian Navy and appears to have been in Bombay (he's in the Navy Lists of 1933 and 1935).   Douglas died in 1941 and his memorial shows his wife as Elizabeth Millar ALLMOND of Rothesay, Buteshire.   There is a record of Douglas returning to India in 1936 and a record of an Elizabeth ALLMOND travelling to Bombay in 1937 with a UK address of Beechwood, Skelmorlie, Ayrshire.

Would it be possible to see whether there is a marriage for Douglas somewhere around 1935/6 please.   There are some Ancestry trees suggesting that Elizabeth is actually Elizabeth Millar McARTHUR, but I have absolutely nothing to corroborate this.

Hi

If Elizabeth travelled to Bombay as Allmond in 1937 - it would suggest she married him after that date - probably in Bombay


Duh - read his surname as Fraser - Specsavers here I come - sorry!!

Thanks for that - odd that she married again but reverted to her previous married name at death.

Nothing odd about it. When a widowed or divorced woman re-marries in Scotland, the marriage is indexed under her maiden surname as well as her previous married surname.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
